the last king of darkness

Chapter 287
Before setting off, Rhodes had obtained enough information through the "Book of Knowledge", knowing that the Chaos Demon in the ruins of Ithorne was in a state of silence, and Mephis could safely gather other monsters.

And he planned to detonate the Thunder Stone on the Chaos Demon.

In order to make this plan more effective, Rhodes even spent a sun crystal to obtain the Chaos Demon's weakness from the mouth of the Book of Knowledge.

Its spiritual energy defense at its weak point is much weaker than other positions, and once penetrated, it is very likely to cause a flaw in the soul.

A weak point attack in a silent state may be able to kill it directly.

As Rhodes expected, the plan went far smoother than expected. Mephis, under the curse of calamity, attracted monsters more than a hundred tons of putrid matter.

The entire black shadow of the ruins of Ishorn boiled up, and countless grotesque black crawlers stepped on each other, forming a black tide and rushing towards her.

After cooperating with Rhodes several times, Mephis has further mastered the skill of gathering monsters. She uses arcs of movement to perfectly gather monsters into the waves behind her. As long as her speed is fast enough, You can compress the monsters together as much as possible.

And Memphis's speed was far faster than that of ordinary ferocious monsters, even if it was not as fast as Annabelle's.

The movement became louder and more monsters appeared, but for a moment, the entire black ocean was revolving around her.

This scene is extremely spectacular, and few people can see it.

Looking at all this, Rhodes sighed in his heart.

Without Mephis, all of this would be a lot of trouble.

Worthy of being my best partner.

Haha.

Rhodes opened the eyes of the soul, and soon found a raised black hill.

There is nothing suspicious on the outside, but in fact it is a chaotic demon in silence. In this abnormal sky, some powerful monsters have the behavior of entering silence, so as to avoid the environment that is not conducive to them.

Monsters in silence are in a dormant state, both in soul and spiritual power, and are highly similar to the surrounding environment, making it extremely difficult to find.

But it's not difficult for Rhodes. As long as he is within 300 yards, the soul's eye can detect all abnormal states.

Rhodes set foot on the hill, and the rough and flaky stone forest under his feet was actually the scalp of Chaos Demon.

He stepped on the Chaos Daemon's head and sent a flare into the sky.

The psychic flare that lifted off silently released a crimson light, and the turbulent black ocean immediately turned around and rushed towards him.

Rhodes grabbed a handful of spirituality from the dream and drew the summoning ceremony. With a thought, the huge box containing 100 million thunderstones fell on the head of the Chaos Demon.

Chaos Demon: Zzzzzz
Inside the huge box are countless small boxes, each of which is sealed with a translucent crystal.

Only in this way can the thunderstone full of energy not dissipate or detonate.

Rod jumped onto the top of the box.

Memphis approached.

The two didn't say anything, and when their eyes met, everything was in silence.

Mephis passed by, and Rhodes summoned a large number of wooden puppets and flesh puppets, which clung to each other to form a solid barrier.

A few seconds later, the black sea surged past, and the giant box was like a stubborn rock, which forcibly separated the tide of monsters and stood standing in the black tide.

Rhodes stood on the top of the reef, fighting against the black waves, while the flesh puppets and wooden puppets remained motionless, allowing monsters to attack, their tough bodies would be difficult to split for a while.

brush!
Rhodes chopped off the head of a black blood beast with a sword, and hit the shield with his right hand, and the three black blood beasts were hit straight down.

He stood on the top of the reef with a star sword in one hand and a star shield in the other, killing the monsters rushing up like a god of war.

Vicious level monsters are no longer able to withstand his blows, and the powerful power brought by the eighth level of psychic power allows him to easily penetrate their psychic defenses. The long sword and large shield woven by starlight are even more sturdy. They can never be destroyed as long as the psychic powers remain.

But the monsters are endless, and what he killed was just a few drops of water splashed out of them.

Rhodes looked back.

In the distance, Mephis had already ridden Annabe and ran out of the danger zone.

It should be safe.

With a thought in Rhodes' mind, the sealed crystallization silently evaporated, 100 million thunderstones were released from the sealed state, and powerful spiritual fluctuations roared out like a volcanic eruption.

It only takes a few seconds for the full-energy thunderstone to explode from activation to explosion. Although Rhodes has the resurrection stone, he can save a little if he can.

The portal of [Spirit Boat] is still cooling down. It is impossible for Rhodes to run out of the explosion range in a short time. It is a pity to be bombed like this. Divinity is very precious, and there are not many left up.

But he was already prepared.

Rhodes jumped into the black ocean, and the stars and long swords danced into a starlight, clearing a path, then shrank, and slipped under the body of the Chaos Demon from the gap in the black hill.

Stupid guy, it depends on whether you can withstand these 100 million thunderstones.

Rhodes thought.

The psychic energy above his head had reached its limit, and the mountain-like body of the Chaos Demon moved, as if awakened.

But it was too late, Rhodes suddenly covered his ears.

The next moment, the explosion of the landslide and tsunami erupted above the devil's head.

The ground shook violently, and the hard ground beat like a critically struck drumhead. The intense lightning even penetrated the demon's body, illuminating Rhode's eyes.

Accompanied by the huge thunder and roar, countless streams of black air leaped towards Rhode's body, and countless spiritless souls jumped up wildly.

It worked!
In ecstasy, Rhodes did not forget to look at the demon above his head.

After suffering such a heavy blow in a state of silence, the demon still did not die.

Its huge body was leaving the ground, its soul was severely injured, but no flaws appeared.

It is rapidly waking up from its silent state, and its powerful spiritual energy is gradually filling up.

This monster is tough!
Rhodes knew something was wrong and ran out quickly.

At this time, the lightning had already fallen, and except where the Chaos Demon was located, the ground moved down tens of yards as a whole, and a super huge pit stretched out of sight, and cracks split by radial lightning could be seen everywhere.

The black sea has disappeared, leaving only ash and many small remnant tributaries.

it is good!
Rhodes clenched his fist.

The tactics have completely achieved the expected goal. Most of the monsters in the ruins of Ishorne have been wiped out, leaving only a few remaining monsters and this Chaos Demon.

The Chaos Demon has stood up at this moment.

It was at least a hundred yards high, covered with armor-like black hard skin, and brown bones protruded from its arms, forming two huge bone knives.

It has a bloated lower body and a strong upper body, and the huge head is covered with a hard armor-like skin, but it is empty from the top of the head to the back of the head, and the armor is missing.

Rhodes felt that there should be a weakness.

He raised his right hand, and bright stardust fell from his fingertips, quickly converging into star lines, wrapping around his fingertips in circles, and a high-speed spinning top was forming.

The Chaos Demon doesn't seem to be fully awake yet. Rhodes plans to take the opportunity to attack it again. What if he can make a breakthrough?

The star shuttle took shape quickly, but suddenly, a star line was obviously skewed, and the entire star shuttle instantly turned into a cloud of starlight, scattered under the fingertips.

Oops!

This stuff is too difficult, I'm not skilled yet.

At this moment, Annabelle who ran away ran back and shouted: "Rod, come quickly!"

boom!
A loud bang.

The Chaos Demon gradually woke up. Its soul was moving from a dormant state to an active state. After taking a step forward, its huge feet stepped on the ground and made a loud noise.

Super strong fluctuations of spiritual energy rushed towards his face, and Rhodes clearly felt the strong pressure.

Can he deal with a monster that hasn't been killed by a million thunderstones?

of course!

I am invincible!
Rhodes flew onto Annabelle and slapped his ass: "Run!"

Annabelle ran wildly, and flung the demon away in the blink of an eye. She said angrily, "How many times have I said that! Don't pat my ass, I'm not a horse!"

"Where's Memphis?"

"In a safe place."

"Go and pull her up."

"Of course, it's up to you to say that?"

"Then we went back and killed the demon."

"Okay, we... what?"

Annabelle looked back in surprise.

"That monster didn't kill even 100 million thunderstones. We are not opponents! Now go back and assemble the team. Let's use the kite tactics like last time. Can't we kill the monster?"

Rhodes shook his head and said, "No...my spiritual power is not enough."

Annabelle was surprised: "Why? Your psionic power has skyrocketed so much, why is it not enough?"

Rhodes was at a loss for words for a while, he couldn't explain the reason why he couldn't use [Awakening] infinitely, so he could only think of another excuse.

"The ability to forcibly pull the monster's hatred needs to be used all the time. The Chaos Demon is much stronger than the last monster, and it is difficult to consume it."

"Where are you taking Sister A Luo?"

"Well, that might work, but let's try and go back if it doesn't work."

"it is good."

Annabelle quickly pulled Memphis up on a hillside in the distance.

Rhode briefly stated his plan.

"The defense of the back of the demon's head was blown away by Thunderstone, which is his weakness, and I happen to have a very strong long-range strike ability, with a range of about two hundred yards. You have to get close to the Chaos Demon and go around behind it go."

This bold idea made Annabe pale with fright.

"No, it's too fast, the range of two hundred yards is too close, and I have too little room to maneuver!"

"Don't panic, Memphis will freeze it."

"This... can it work?"

"It works."

Rhode's words finally reassured Annabelle a little.

She turned and charged towards the Chaos Daemon.

And the restless Chaos Demon also found this uninvited guest. It rushed towards them, with a huge bone knife dangling beside it. .

Annabelle's straight-line speed far surpassed it, but once within two hundred yards, the demon could step on her in one burst, and there was no time to dodge.

However, when Mephis' ice ability was activated, the demon's speed slowed down significantly.

Its huge body began to frost, and its super psychic power could not resist the invasion of cold.

Annabelle was extremely surprised. It was the first time she saw such a powerful ice characteristic. There are many people in Wangcheng who have similar characteristics, but none of them can achieve this level. Chaos demons have extremely high resistance and basically cannot be affected by cold. The influence of the eleventh-level psionic ability is enough to make it resist most negative states.

But the surprise flashed by, and Annabe concentrated on running around the demon. Suddenly, with a stampede of four hooves, she accelerated and detoured behind the demon.

"Rod!" she yelled.

But Rhodes lost the chain again, the star shuttle was not rotating fast enough, and it fell after a few yards, turning into a handful of stars.

"Again!"

Rhodes concentrated all his energy and condensed the Star Shuttle.

The silver light spun again on the fingertips, and the star lines flying at high speed merged into the silver light in circles, forming a high-speed rotating "umbrella" on the fingertips.

The umbrella turned faster and faster, and the silver light became one piece.

Suddenly, the tail of the umbrella spread out, and a circle of star lines flew out, bursting out a huge amount of star brilliance, pushing the umbrella and shooting out, making a sharp whine.

This is "Star Shuttle".

Its tail dissipated quickly, and its speed became faster and faster. It pierced through the air at an unimaginable speed, hitting the back of the Chaos Demon's head.

It was a large mass of pink muscle, the hard outer skin had already been blown away, this was its physical weakness, the weakness of its soul, and the spiritual energy defense was very weak here.

Swish!
Star Shuttle hit directly.

The umbrella formed by the ultra-high-speed rotating star lines, like countless sharp blades, cut through its flesh and blood, broke through its spiritual defense, pierced through its flesh, and exploded inside its body.

The Chaos Demon let out a long hissing sound like a siren, and its huge body fell to the ground with a crash.

But it's not dead yet, it's just that there is a small hole in the soul, which destroys the operation of psionic energy and hinders the soul's progress, and the soul is instinctively shrinking this flaw.

"quick!"

Rhodes shouted loudly!
Annabe stamped her hooves, her spiritual energy exploded, and she rushed to the fallen demon at the fastest speed in her life. Rhodes flew off the horse, raised his right hand high, and the sickle-shaped crescent on the back of his hand flashed, and his soul exploded in mid-air. Click and you are ready.

Bang!
Rhodes inserted his right hand directly into the back of the demon's head, pinched its soul thread, and pulled it violently.

Another loud muffled sound.

The soul of the Chaos Demon was torn apart, its huge body collapsed, and the condensed darkness began to fly away.

A black line sank into the body.

【The Soul of Chaos Demon】

Rhodes finally showed a smile, and then the black dust that soared into the sky overwhelmed him.

-

-

Blackwater swamp.

Temporary bonfires were scattered all over the periphery of the swamp, forming a temporary line of defense.

Soldiers are patrolling the makeshift defense line.

The production staff brought countless laborers to work all night. The fortifications were mainly fortresses, towers or city walls made of spiritually solidified stones. The main purpose was to separate monsters and avoid being besieged. battle.

The larger fortifications also have bed crossbows, psychic cannons, psychic generators and other weapon facilities.

These fortifications echo each other and cover each other. The defense system formed is the main means for Trorian to use and protect large strongholds.

Between strongholds and strongholds, a larger defense system can be formed.

Only in this way can a region survive for a long time and stably, and will not be suddenly destroyed by a small disaster.

Therefore, building fortifications is a very important thing.

Molly arranged a rotation patrol mission, but she stayed up all night, checking the defense of the temporary defense line to ensure that the construction work would not be disturbed in any way.

The assistants Vilas and Vivian sent by Jon, and the assistant A Luo sent by Qingyu have also been with her all the time.

"The development of Fanxing Town can really be described as a miracle."

Vilas, who had just returned from the recruitment task in Wangcheng, let out a long sigh.

"When I left, there was nothing here. When I came back, it was already a scene of prosperity and vitality."

Vivian chuckled and said, "Veras, as I said before, Lord Rhodes will become a human hero just like Lord Jon."

A Luo said: "That's not true, he will become sister Qingyu's husband!"

Vilas sneered: "I heard that your master's intended spouse has been skyrocketing recently, almost two thousand?"

A Luo retorted: "What's none of your business? That greasy man Jon knelt down and begged Sister Qingyu, but Sister Qingyu didn't agree to let him be one of them."

Both Vilas and Vivian were furious: "What did you say?"

"How about it? Want to fight? Come on, I'm not afraid of you!"

The two sides were at war, and Molly had to cut in and separate them.

"Stop arguing, things are important."

Although they paused their quarrel, the three people's overt and secret verbal confrontation along the way was very annoying.

Molly sighed softly in her heart, and she didn't know whether she should be happy that Rhodes was so popular, or worry about the quarrels and conflicts among humans.

She is a traditional fire-spreading faction who only obeys the king's orders. She disapproves of this kind of early standing in line. All her focus is on the revival of human beings and the inheritance of the fire, and she dislikes internal conflicts the most.

Qingyu and Jon are still fighting for the future route of the royal city. Generally speaking, they are still fighting for human beings. Those who fight for power, luxury and pleasure are the most unforgivable.

And there are already some signs of this kind of person in the royal city.

This time, the big investigation in Wangcheng suppressed some of them, but apparently they did not kill them all. The elders did not want to cause major turmoil in Wangcheng at this time, and ended the investigation after finding out the people directly related to the judge.

Molly was very dissatisfied.

Now, the Kuroshio has passed for a long time, and Wangcheng has long since returned to normal.

But what is worrying is that under this continuous good weather, the pressure in various places has not slowed down, but has intensified.

This is not in line with the usual practice. Generally, after the end of the Kuroshio, Trorian's defense will decline for a long period of time. This situation is very abnormal.

It is understandable that the group of elders hastily finished the investigation.

What really made Molly dissatisfied was that they seemed to think that Rhodes' victory was commonplace, and they gave Fanxing Town a very close deadline, requiring them to clean up all the areas before this deadline, so that some of the fighters could be returned to the Royal City.

This behavior made Molly very angry.

As we all know, the crimson dangerous area of ​​the ruins of Ishorn must be cleaned up in the dark world with great care and caution.

The Blackwater Swamp can be taken in one day, but it does not mean that the Ruins of Ithorn can be taken in one day.

Molly had already planned a three-month plan, but the elders actually asked them to clean up the ruins within one month.

Naturally, it was impossible for Molly to agree. She had already sent letters to His Excellency Dalin and His Excellency the Archbishop respectively, arguing with reason and asking the elders to change the order.

Therefore, at this time, she still needs the support of these two king candidates.

Molly briefly explained the matter, and the three of them agreed unanimously.

"It's not just a matter of position, it's a matter of the interests of Trorian humanity as a whole," Vilas said.

Vivian agreed: "The existence of Fanxing Town cannot be disturbed by any external forces, and the elders cannot use the best results of a certain battle to set standards."

A Luo: "Me too."

The three quickly reached a consensus, which made Molly very happy.

"Thank you three, I will convey your kindness to Lord Rhodes."

Vilas smiled politely: "Please don't worry about a little thing."

Vivienne: "It is our duty to have a better future for the entire Trorian humanity."

A Luo: "Me too."

So it's settled.

Then the four circled around the temporary defense line a few more times to deal with some defense issues.

Just as she was about to say goodbye and leave, Ah Luo suddenly yelled.

"Where is Lord Rhodes? Why didn't I see him all the way?"

After saying this, the three of them suddenly woke up.

They have been to the temporary bonfires in the entire Blackwater Swamp, and it is impossible not to meet Rhodes.

Vilas pondered: "He returned to Fanxing Town?"

Molly shook her head: "Impossible."

Vivienne said anxiously, "Let's look for it?"

After looking for it, it was found that not only Rhodes, Memphis and Annabelle were also missing.

The three looked a little weird, and they obviously had some bad associations.

Molly didn't quite believe it.

"Perhaps, they went to observe the situation of the nearby monsters. Annabelle's speed is very fast, and Mephis has the ability to freeze."

Ah Luo suddenly said: "Couldn't they have gone to the ruins of Ishorn?"

"Impossible!" Vilas categorically denied: "The ruins of Ishorn are to the west, not only far away, but also very dangerous."

A Luo poohed: "You know what! Maybe little Rhodes has already blown up the ruins of Ithorne."

Vilas sneered and said, "Has your brain grown into your chest? Not to mention other monsters, how do you deal with the Chaos Demon? This is the most difficult monster. It will take a long time for Lord Jon to come here in person." .”

Vivienne said: "That's right, this matter should be left to Lord Jon. Your sister Qingyu may not be the opponent of the devil!"

A Luo said angrily: "Nonsense! You are all nonsense! Don't talk about Sister Qingyu, Little Rhodes can also kill him. You don't want your greasy man to take action at all!"

Vilas sneered: "Although Lord Rhodes is very strong, he hasn't been around for a long time. It is impossible to reach this level. He is not as brainless as you. He may just go out to collect materials."

Vivian said: "I dare say that Lord Rhodes never went to the ruins of Ishorne..."

boom!
There was a loud noise that pierced the sky, and the violently blooming thunder was clearly visible even after such a distance.

When the thunder light fell, the four of them were stunned.

A Luo was no exception. Although she said so, she didn't believe that Rhodes really went.

"This... what is this?"

Molly suddenly realized: "Lei Shi, he detonated those 100 million Lei Shi!"

Everyone was extremely shocked. It was the first time in their lives that they saw a scene where a million thunderstones detonated at the same time.

This is also the first time in human history.

Everyone's faces flickered, and A Luo suddenly said: "The Chaos Demon won't die, right?"

Vilas immediately retorted: "Impossible, the Chaos Demon is very powerful, with extremely high defense power, even 100 million thunderstones can't kill it."

Suddenly, another person shouted: "Look, what is that?"

The four of them looked up and saw black dust rushing towards them in the boundless darkness, which caused some panic.

But none of the four moved.

Molly said softly, "This is the dissipated darkness. Looking at this scale, the Chaos Demon is already dead."
